Summary	0028427: Confusion: Selected enemies have no visual indicator above them & portraits do not match units exactly
Description	See attached screenshot. There seems to be no visual indicator above a selected enemy unit similar to what is there for my own units. That got me confused when multiple enemies were in view - I was no longer sure to which unit the stats on the left were belonging. (On second sight I noticed that there is a indicator - the health bars at the bottom - but I somehow expected something more "explicit" like the glowing ellow arrow indicating selected player units). In a similar way I was initially confused by the unit portrait of an enemy unit not matching the actual unit (in terms of pose etc.). I would have expected them to be identical - especially since the units themselves are "stills" as well...
